You guys aren't going to beleive this 5

[Tread]

I'm praying for you. This is a day that I am trying so hard to avoid. The only advice I can give is to stay busy, but we all know that there will be moments when you break down.

[Maybell]

Now you can make it yours. It's full of possibility.

((((Thornton))))

Thinking about you Thornton. Hope you're doing ok.

I just watched W and D drive off.

I held it together while they were here to say goodbye.

But now, the pain is searing. I haven't cried this hard in 20 years. I don't know how I'm going to get through this, I truly don't.

Hey Thornton,

Don't have much advice but just wanted you to know you will be okay. The pain will pass. The bandaid has been ripped off. Allow time to process this and pick yourself up and move forward. You've been here before and have so many that look up to you because of your strength. Don't forget that.

[EastTN]

No advice for you, but a lot of empathy. Don't forget you're not alone.

Hang in there, T.

I'm sorry Thornton. It is good to let your grief out - that is cleansing and healing. You may even find that some of what you have been holding onto from your childhood gets cleansed too. The worst has come to pass - the moment you dreaded where she drove away has happened. Sometimes there is release in that too.

You feel you don't know how you will get through this right now. But you will. Tomorrow you may well feel a tiny bit better and the next day too. Then maybe a dip, then better again. A state of raw pain is never permanent and it will pass..

Keep posting and we will all be here for you (((((hugs)))))

It passes Thornton...I swear.

It improves. It's NOT Linear. But Thornton, I've had some good days, and a few great ones.

You may still believe this rocky r was the main route to happiness for you. I hope you will entertain the possibility that this r was Not what you hoped it would ever be.

A rocky 5 year relationship in your life has taken a turn. It might be over.

But Your life is not over.

YOU are in charge of how your days go, from this day forward. Seriously, you are.


So what are you going today?

Holding space for you, Thornton.

Hey Thor,

Sorry to hear buddy but stay strong. I went through a similar point and to tell you the truth, everything got so much better once she was gone. Obviously it takes a bit of getting used to, but I think the real healing, learning and self reflection takes place once you are on your own. Be sure to do what you can to stay active and make it through the first few days. I can promise you that it gets better.
